That seems like a good price. I have thought about delving into this show but I have never watched an episode.

Does it truly include everything or is there anything important missing in this set?

I'm tempted too, but the reviews on Amazon say the packaging sucks.

I didn't even know you still posted here ....


Still a little much. This sale at BBY is kinda lame if that's the best thing there is. Hopefully something else will come up.

Good price. Too bad it doesn't include "The Plan".

What's the difference between the U.K set and the U.S.? Details are appreciated.

Finally ordered the UK set. Price too good to pass up, even for a show that I hated by the end.

I managed to get an order in before the price jump.

Much better than the Best Buy Deal.

Still laughing at that one.

Apparently the packaging on this is hideous, my understanding is that it's a chronic problem with full series boxed sets in general.

I have no idea why one would let the packaging dissuade one from buying this box set.

With the merged reviews it's hard to tell what people are complaining about. I know a lot of people hated the cylon head set (which this is not).

I think you're thinking of this packaging, which was awful:



This packaging is the version you want to get:

^^^Doesn't the UK version have the individual larger Blu-ray cases? I'm hoping so from seeing pics of it, as the Americanized Version is just plain retarded. I prefer cases over cardboard crap.

Do you have the set or are you reading Amazon reviews? What is the supposed problem and are you reading the reviews of the Cylon Head set?
I am going by the Amazon reviews, but they do of course tend to conflate lots of product together, so there could be reviews from other versions mixed in. I've been meaning to check out this series for a while now, I should probably watch it on Netfllix before they drop it like they did FarScape. Frelling frakkers.

I received it today. Woo-whooo! 11 days isn't bad to wait. I received the version which has fatter "European" blu-ray cases. Set is awesome and compact. Looks bigger in the pics.

Completely agree with Shannon Nutt on the packaging that you want to get. I have the second image listed here; awesome set; good packaging.

My set arrived yesterday too. I really like the packaging, like you said, it's compact.
